One of the coolest things you get to see in the mission is when God wants to change a situation or just the general flow of things, he does it how, when, and with who he wants to. That's what's been going on here in Rio Claro.
The work has been going really really slow here. I mean ever since I got here it's been like a dead zone here in our area. Its hard for our investigators to progress and nobody EVER comes to church. But this last week we were blessed with a bunch of new investigators who are showing a lot of potential. Yesterday at church, we had two of our investigators actually come to church!! Literally they came and stay for a whole 2 hours! haha they came halfway through the first meeting BUT THEY CAME. In my whole 2 transfers here in Rio Claro. We'll see how things go with them. Pray for us!
After Church let out we were closing up all the gates, my companion and I, and right as we were leaving we saw this really beautiful colored iguana just laying under one of the church's flower bushes. It was odd because I've never seen an iguana just chilling on the ground like that, not in a tree. So we got closer to it and it didn't run away. It was obviously hurt or sick. In our new house we have a huge mango tree where 2 or 3 other iguanas live so we thought we could help this guy out. He didn't attack us or even fuss when I picked him up. So we walked down the street, iguana in hand, and set the little guy up in our mango tree. After about an hour, he started eating the termites that infest that tree and within no time at all he ran up the tree and is right as rain. Looks like I've still got some of my lifeguard skills. Thanks Marty!
The rainy season started about two weeks ago and it's been nothing but 24/7 rain here. I actually like it a lot, because first of all I love rain. And second, the cool rain is MUCH better than the hot sun. It just sucks when the rain stops and the sun comes out to heat up all the water.
Life is good here in Costa Rica. Bien pura vida y achachete. I love you all and I pray for you guys a lot.
Keep On Keepin' On...
